Started reading this one.


I like the premise a lot but parts of it really pull me out of it. This is a 19 year old cadet sent on a mission to gather intelligence by attending wizard school. This person would not have the slightest inkling about high level secret squirrel magitek beyond using it as required for the mission. But she instantly knows exactly how egghead super scientists on Earth have reverse engineered a magical artifact that she also knows nothing about.

I hate that kind of lazy writing. But the rest of it is enjoyable if you can ignore the Mary Sue moments.

Ukerric Ukerric This one is excellent.


Truly superbly written. Astounding level of detail and depth. No way this doesn't get published into something more proper when the guy wises up. Not really a LitRPG really. More in line with traditional fantasy but has some minor nods to LitRPG.

Progression fantasy is LitRPG-adjacent. Need to read. When work will let me sleep better (my MD tells me that I need to avoid stress; I'd also like to).

I’ll give it a go after I finish the latest DCC book.

Which reminds me, for those that don’t know, This Inevitable Ruin (dungeon crawler Carl book 7) just released on Monday. Audiobook version not til next year.

Ooooh, didn't spot it was from Kirill Klevanski.

Got a load of his books on my kindle.
